Description

[0001] Cross - reference to related applications

[0002] This application is a divisional application of the application with the filing date of January 25, 2019, application number 201980016064.1, and invention name "Bifunctional Absorbent and Cooling Textile".

[0003] The parent application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 621,851 filed on January 25, 2018 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 720,483 filed on August 21, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field

[0004] The present invention relates to knitted textiles, and more particularly to bifunctional double-sided textiles that provide a double-sided textile capable of absorbing up to four times its weight in sweat on the loop absorbent surface. In addition, when the textile is wetted and activated, it can provide increased conductive cooling on the non-loop (flat) absorbent surface. More particularly, the present invention relates to a multi-layer warp-knitted spacer fabric structure that provides the ability to effectively absorb sweat from the skin, while the textile (primarily when wetted, and secondarily in the dry state) can be used to cool the skin below the current skin temperature for an extended period of time. Described in this patent application is an integrally formed warp-knitted spacer structure composed of four yarns that work together to produce the textile. Background Art

[0005] Prior wetting-activated cooling textiles use weaving and double-knitting structures that utilize absorbent yarns with moisture-absorbing properties. The first layer located next to the skin provides a continuous cooling effect. However, such fabrics typically dry out quickly and / or warm up to the user's skin temperature, thus eliminating any cooling effect. In addition, since these fabrics tend to be thinner than normal terry cloth towels and are not constructed with looped pile designed to absorb sweat, they have limited sweat-absorbing capacity. Accordingly, there is a need for such bifunctional absorbent and cooling textiles that employ more advanced yarn and construction technologies and mitigate the deficiencies of current cooling textiles. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention generally relates to textile fabrics, and more particularly to a bifunctional absorbent and cooling warp-knitted spacer fabric structure that provides the ability to absorb sweat on one side of the fabric, while also having a cooling surface (primarily when wetted, and secondarily in the dry state) that can cool the skin below the current skin temperature for an extended period of time.

[0015] Warp - knitted spacer structure

[0016] As Figure 1 shown, the first side 102 of the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 includes a plurality of loops for absorbing moisture or sweat from the skin surface 104. The second side 106 of the dual-functional textile 100 is the cooling side and is preferably flat (especially relative to the first side 102). Preferably, the pile height of the raised loops on the first side 102 is greater than 0.2 millimeters. The raised loops on the first side 102 may be omitted in some sections to accommodate the pattern or other design using the loops. The pile height may also vary on the surface of the first side 102.

[0017] Preferably, the second side 106 does not include any raised pile. The pile height of the loops can be changed to other lengths depending on the desired absorbency, duration, and amount of conductive cooling of the dual-functional textile 100. As used herein, the pile is a fabric effect formed by a plurality of loops (or other upright yarns) extending on the fabric surface. The pile height is the height of the plurality of loops on the fabric surface.

[0018] The second side 106 opposite the first side 102 includes yarns designed to impart additional evaporative cooling performance, thereby cooling the consumer by utilizing the science of the heat of vaporization.

[0019] One embodiment of the dual - function textile 100 is designed to be worn adjacent to the skin 104 of a user, such as an athlete. The dual - function textile 100 can form an entire garment, such as a shirt or a pair of shorts, or be strategically incorporated into a garment that requires additional cooling, such as near the user's shoulders / armpits. The dual - function textile 100 can also be used to form standalone cooling products, such as headbands, towels, hats, etc.

[0020] When the dual - function textile 100 is wetted, wrung, and snapped or rapidly rotated in air, the evaporative cooling effect of the dual - function textile 100 is activated. The cooling effect of the dual - function textile 100 described herein utilizes the principle of evaporative cooling (latent heat of vaporization). This principle is detailed as water must be supplied with heat energy to change from a liquid to a vapor. Once evaporation occurs, this heat from the liquid water is carried away due to evaporation, resulting in a colder liquid remaining in the dual - function textile 100.

[0021] After the dual - function textile 100 is wetted and preferably wrung to remove excess water, snapping or rapidly rotating in air is a recommended process as it helps to promote and accelerate the movement of moisture from the first side 102 that stores water to the non - coiled second side 106 where more water evaporates to the environment. Snapping or rapidly rotating in air also increases the evaporation rate and more rapidly reduces the material temperature by exposing a greater surface area of the dual - function textile 100 to air and increased air flow. More specifically, the dual - function textile 100 serves as a device to promote and accelerate the evaporation process. The manufacturing method described in this patent has been shown to provide additional cooling benefits relative to other fabrics.

[0022] Once the temperature of the remaining water in the outer evaporation layer (such as the second side 106) drops due to evaporation, heat exchange occurs as follows: by convection within the water, by conduction between the water and the dual - function textile 100, and by conduction within the dual - function textile 100. Consequently, the temperature of the dual - function textile 100 drops. The evaporation process further continues by sucking water from the coiled - face core to the non - coiled face until the stored water is exhausted. The evaporation rate decreases as the material temperature drops. The temperature of the dual - function textile 100 gradually drops to a point where the rate of heat absorption from the environment into the material balances the rate of heat release through evaporation.

[0023] Once the second side 106 of the wetted bifunctional textile 100 is placed on the user's skin, the cooling energy from the bifunctional textile 100 is transferred to the skin surface 104 by conduction. After the transfer of the cooling energy occurs, the temperature of the bifunctional textile 100 increases to balance with the temperature of the skin surface 104. Once this happens, the wetted bifunctional textile 100 can be easily reactivated by methods such as snapping or quick rotation to cause the temperature to drop again. As described above, the method of manufacturing the bifunctional textile 100 described in this patent has been shown to provide additional cooling benefits relative to prior inventions.

[0024] Once the wetted bifunctional textile 100 is placed, the first side 102 can be used to wipe sweat or moisture from the skin surface 104. The user can use the bifunctional textile 100 in this way until the textile becomes completely saturated. Then, to reactivate the bifunctional textile 100, it can be wetted, twisted, snapped, etc. The user's sweat can even be used to activate the bifunctional textile 100.

[0025] To produce the unique cooling effect of the bifunctional textile 100, a warp-knitted spacer structure is preferably used to produce a textile with a bifunctional layer that includes different yarns in the same material. The second side 106 (the cooling side), which mainly includes polyester yarns or nylon yarns (with optionally modified cross-section yarns), is embedded with cooling minerals (or particles) for transporting and evaporating moisture while providing a cool touch. The opposite first side 102 (the absorption side) mainly includes polyester yarns or nylon yarns with special absorption yarns designed to give the textile the ability to improve absorption, transport, and retention of moisture.

[0026] The bifunctional textile 100 also preferably includes elastic yarns, such as spandex, which provide improved draping and stretching properties for the bifunctional textile 100. The elastic yarns also provide hydrophobic properties to quickly disperse moisture to the more absorbent and evaporative yarns in the bifunctional textile 100. The intended end use of the bifunctional textile 100 provides dual cooling and absorption of sweat from activities such as participating in sports games, physical activities, leisure activities, or doing work around the house by oneself. The bifunctional textile 100 can be used in any situation where one wishes to stay cool when in the heat.

[0027] What makes the bifunctional cooling and absorption textile unique is its ability to have dual uses of absorption and cooling in the same material. Thus, the bifunctional textile 100 can be used in the accessory and / or clothing industries to provide dual uses of absorption and conductive cooling with an amount of absorption and cooling ability that is improved relative to current options on the market.

[0028] Figures 2A to 2DDepicts a cross-sectional view of a yarn filament that can be used in the construction of the dual-functional textile 100. Figure 2D Depicts a cross-section of a single filament of a stretchable synthetic (elastic) yarn such as spandex. As will be described later, elastic yarns are typically used on the comb 4 during construction and provide draping and stretch properties to the dual-functional textile 100.

[0029] Other combs (such as combs 1 to 3) can use a variety of other yarns. Figure 2A and 2C Depicts a nylon or polyester (evaporative) yarn with a unique cross-section that can be embedded with minerals or particles (such as jade or mica) to transport and evaporate moisture from the skin surface 104 while still providing conductive cooling and a cool touch. Examples of suitable evaporative yarns with such a cross-section include Mipan aqua-x and askin, both manufactured by Hyosung Corporation in Korea, and both also provide UV protection.

[0030] Figure 2B Depicts a cross-section of a conjugated bicomponent polyester and nylon (absorbent) yarn with a special star-shaped cross-section (the star-shaped cross-section is formed by a treatment applied after knitting the dual-functional textile 100). Such yarns are more absorbent than traditional absorbent yarns used in most cooling fabrics. The yarn used in the first side 102 is preferably Hyosung Mipan XF, which has a wicking rate and wicking distance after 2 minutes of at least twice that of cotton of equal density as tested using the AATCC method 197.

[0031] Details of knitting structure

[0032] The dual-functional textile 100 is preferably constructed using a warp-knitted spacer loom. In addition, the weight range of the dual-functional textile 100 is preferably 100 g / m 2 to 600 g / m 2 . The described embodiments of the dual-functional textile 100 preferably have the following fiber contents:

[0033] Option 1 - Polyester / Spandex Blend - 62% polyester, 28% cooling polyester, 10% spandex (±10% can be changed for each fiber).

The symbols on each comb can be modified to produce various alternatives. Figures 3A to 3D The stitch symbols for combs 1 to 4 for the first side 102 (the face side) according to Scenario 1 are depicted respectively.

[0087] As can be seen from the above Solutions 1 to 4, the four-knit-comb warp-knitted spacer structure for producing the dual-functional textile 100 generally includes absorbent yarns on Knit combs 1 and 2, cooling yarns on Knit comb 3, and elastic yarns on Knit comb 4. This ensures that the absorbent yarns form loops on the first side 102 to absorb moisture from the skin surface 104. In addition, the cooling yarns on Knit comb 3 contribute to the capillary action and evaporation of moisture from the absorbent yarns. Finally, the elastic yarns (such as spandex) used on Knit comb 4 ensure that the dual-functional textile 100 has draping and stretching properties.

[0088] Additional performance yarns

[0089] In some embodiments, other performance yarns can be used in the dual-functional textile 100. Specifically, for the yarns listed in Knit combs 1 to 4 in Solutions 1 to 4, other evaporation yarns with additional performance characteristics can be added, blended, or twisted with the evaporation yarns (such as 50D / 72F cooling polyester) to enhance the cooling effect. These yarns can be, but are not limited to, the following:

[0090] ● Mineral-containing yarns - Mineral-embedded yarns containing mica, jade, coconut shell, volcanic ash, graphene, etc. can be added to provide a cool touch and improved evaporation performance. Mineral yarns have a larger surface area due to the exposed particles, which provides increased evaporation capacity. Examples of this type of yarn are 37.5 polyester and 37.5 nylon.

[0091] ● Absorbent yarns - High-absorbent yarns can be used, such as bicomponent synthetic yarns, optionally modified cross-section synthetic yarns, cellulose and non-cellulose blended yarns. This can include both filaments and spun yarns and their yarn combinations.

[0092] ● Phase change yarns - Phase change yarns such as "Outlast" polyester and "Outlast" nylon, cellulose and non - cellulose blended fibers can be added to the present invention to provide increased cooling capacity and a cooling touch.

[0093] Denier / filament range of additional performance yarns:

[0094] ○ Guide bars 1 to 3 - Absorbent or cooling polyester yarns or nylon yarns

[0095] ■ Denier range - 10 denier to 200 denier

[0096] ■ Filament range - 10 filaments to 400 filaments

[0097] ○ Guide bar 4 - Elastic yarn (spandex or other elastic yarn)

[0098] ■ Denier range - 10 denier to 340 denier

[0099] Details of absorbent yarns (guide bars 1 and 2)

[0100] The following provides a description of various absorbent yarns that can be used to produce the dual - function textile 100. These absorbent yarns are used to create loops on the first side 102 of the dual - function textile 100 that absorbs moisture from the skin surface 104. As already described, the absorbent yarns also help retain moisture in the dual - function fabric 100 when wetted, which aids in cooling.

[0101] The first type of absorbent yarn is microdenier. Specifically, microdenier is a yarn that measures less than one (1) denier per filament (dpf). An example of microdenier is 50 denier / 72 filaments, where the denier (50) divided by the filaments (72) is less than 1. Additionally, multifilament yarns with a denier / filament ratio of 1.2 dpf or less can also be used in the present invention. During the construction of the dual - function textile 100, microdenier can be used on any of guide bars 1 to 3.

[0102] Conjugate yarns (high - absorbency bicomponent polyester / nylon) yarns can also preferably be used on guide bars 1 to 3 to impart additional absorbent properties to the present invention. The conjugate yarns undergo a dyeing process that dissolves the binder and splits the yarn, resulting in a pie - shaped cross - section. This cross - section allows for greater moisture retention than typical synthetic fibers.

[0103] The Nanofront synthetic yarn technology produced by Teijin can also preferably be used on guide bars 1 to 3 to impart additional absorbent properties to the dual - function textile 100. Using this technology can result in a yarn with a diameter of 700 nanometers (which is 1 / 7,500 the thickness of a human hair)th ) fiber diameter. Currently, this kind of yarn is polyester-based.

[0104] The Avra yarn technology produced by Eastman can provide additional moisture management and absorption performance and can be used for the fibers of combs 1 to 3.

[0105] Preferably, all the absorbent yarns (combs 1 to 3) used for the dual-functional textile 100 have the following characteristics. First, the absorbent yarns provide capillary action and moisture management characteristics to accelerate evaporation through their ability to move moisture from the first side 102 to the second side 106.

[0106] In addition, these yarns can provide a "cool touch". The cool touch is tested by the Q-max test. Preferably, the Q-max of the dual-functional fabric 100 on the second side 106 is greater than 0.130 W / cm 2 (which indicates the normal industry standard based on the cool touch requirement, and the cool touch effect of polyester-based products). Preferably, the Q-Max (Scenario 1 - 0.442 W / cm 2 ) of the second side 106 when wet is at least twice that of the Q-Max (Scenario 1 - 0.163 W / cm 2 ) of the second side 106 when dry. In addition, the Q-Max (Scenario 1 - 0.442 W / cm 2 ) of the second side 106 when wet is at least twice that of the Q-Max (Scenario 1 - 0.157 W / cm 2 ) of the first side 102 when wet.

[0107] The above absorbent yarns also provide rapid absorption of moisture, thus allowing moisture to penetrate the fabric within 3 seconds when tested according to AATCC 79.

[0108] Details of cooling yarns (guide bars 1 to 3)

[0109] The cooling yarns are synthetic yarns that wick moisture. Cooling evaporation yarns such as askin and Mipan aqua-X have modified cross-sections that can provide rapid absorption, rapid drying, and capillary action to the dual-functional textile 100. These cooling fibers have embedded minerals or particles, such as mica, titanium dioxide, or jade, which make the Q-max of the dual-functional textile 100 on the second side 106 0.130 or greater. In addition, the modified cross-section cooling evaporation yarns increase opacity and UV protection. Therefore, using these yarns can make the evaporation cooling ability greater than that of ordinary polyester.

[0110] Details of elastic yarns (guide bar 4)

[0111] As already described, in an embodiment of the dual-functional textile 100, the guide bar 4 preferably uses elastic yarns. The elastic yarns provide functional stretch characteristics and recovery characteristics. Specifically, elastomers are used in the fabric to prevent excessive growth. Specifically, the dual-functional textile 100 preferably includes 10% or less spandex yarns such that when tested according to ASTM D2594, the elastomer will contribute to maintaining 10% growth or less growth after 60 seconds.

[0112] Additional benefits of the dual - function textile 100

[0113] In use, the dual-functional textile 100 can have a temperature reduction of 30 degrees below the average core body temperature (98.6°F) when activated by being wetted. Additionally, the dual-functional textile 100 has a conduction cooling capacity increase of more than 60% when compared to current microfiber cooling towels (measured in W / m 2 ). Additionally, there is a conduction cooling capacity increase of more than 50% relative to PVA and cotton towels.

[0114] Depending on the external humidity / temperature, the dual-functional textile 100 has a cooling duration of more than 11.0 hours. This is supported by independent research in a controlled laboratory environment. The report confirms that the dual-functional textile 100 remains more than 50% wet for 11.1 hours, meaning the dual-functional textile 100 can hold water inside the towel for a longer time, resulting in evaporative cooling for a longer time than traditional microfiber cooling textiles.

[0115] The percentage of the moisture absorption rate of the dual-functional textile 100 also exceeds four times its weight, which is significantly higher than traditional microfiber cooling textile solutions on the market. When placed against the skin, the dual-functional textile 100 also has an absorption capacity from the first side 102 and a cool touch on the opposite side (the second side 106).

[0116] Additional tests have shown that the percentage of the moisture absorption rate (WPU%) of one embodiment of the dual-functional textile 100 is 489% or 4.9 times the fabric weight. Additionally, the WPU% of tests conducted on an alternative embodiment of the textile is 532% or 5.3 times the fabric weight. This is an increase relative to traditional microfiber cooling towels (which reached a maximum of 157% WPU% or 1.57 times the fabric weight in the past).

[0117] The combination of the yarns on the coil absorption surface (the first side 102) in the dual-functional textile 100 plus the evaporation yarns used in the cooling surface (the second side 106) produces a higher conduction cooling capacity (in watts / m 2(measured). Specifically, two independent test reports show that the dual-functional textile 100 described herein generates 23,483 watts / m 2 (embodiment 415 g / m of Scheme 4 2 ) and 22,709 watts / m 2 (embodiment 395 g / m of Scheme 1 2 ), while PVA and cotton towels generate only 15,011 watts / m 2 and 14,967 watts / m 2 . Therefore, this shows that the dual-functional textile 100 of the present invention generates cooling energy that is approximately 56% to 51% higher than that of both PVA and cotton towels, as measured by testing using the modified ASTM F1868 method titled "Standard Test Method for Thermal and Evaporative Resistance of Clothing Materials Using a Sweating Hot Plate" by Vartest Laboratories.

[0118] The dual-functional textile 100 can also be treated with antimicrobial chemicals or special yarns added to inhibit microbial growth, so that it can be reused without emitting an odor. No chemicals need to be added to the dual-functional textile 100 to impart the cooling ability. In addition, the dual-functional textile 100 manufactured according to any of the described embodiments dries softly, is reusable, and is machine washable.

[0120] In addition to normal textile finishing operations, an embodiment of the present invention includes applying additional finishing operations before or after constructing the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100, and the additional finishing operations impart increased cooling ability, duration, temperature, and other cooling performance characteristics when the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 is wetted and activated. Examples of additional finishing operations applicable to the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 are provided below. Combinations of the following methods can also be employed.

[0121] ● Brushing - Brushing using methods such as needle brushing or less prominent ceramic paper brushing provides pile height for the cooling fabric. This pile height provides a more aesthetically soft feel and increased absorbency. In addition, the increased surface area for water evaporation helps to accelerate the evaporation rate. Figure 6A schematic diagram of a needle brushing machine is depicted. As shown, one side (side 106) of the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 is fed onto the needle brushing machine 602, which rotates in a direction opposite to the direction in which the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 is fed. As the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 passes over the needles 604, the needles gently brush the surface of the second side 106 while leaving the back side undamaged. In some embodiments, both sides of the dual-functional textile 100 can be brushed.

[0122] ● Embossing - Embossing results in the reorientation of fibers on the fabric surface. This finishing method is used to increase the surface area by flattening the yarn surface. This increased surface area allows for a higher evaporation rate, thereby creating additional cooling properties and a higher level of evaporation. Figure 7 A diagram of an embossing machine and the embossing process is depicted. Here, the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 is fed between a heated roller 702 and a non-heated roller 704. The surface of the heated roller 702 typically includes the pattern to appear on the final embossed fabric (second side 106). In other embodiments, if both sides of the dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100 are embossed, the fabric can be flipped.

[0123] ● Brushing + Embossing - Using a combination of brushing and embossing can impart increased cooling properties to a cooling fabric. The performance benefits of both brushing and embossing are described above. Figure 8 A sample of the deformed dual-functional textile 100 that has been both brushed and embossed is depicted.

[0124] Chemical updates

[0125] Chemicals can also be used to impart increased cooling ability, duration, and lower temperature to the wetted and activated dual-functional absorbent and cooling textile 100. The following is a summary of additional finishing operations. Combinations of these methods can also be used for the dual-functional textile 100.

[0126] ● Cooling Printing - Printing chemicals using conventional and unconventional printing techniques can be used to add hydrophobic, hydrophilic, phase change, mineral (particle), etc. chemicals to the surface of the cooling textile 100. These chemicals impart increased cooling ability, duration, and lower temperature when wetted and activated.

[0127] ● Cooling Gel - Proprietary compositions and cooling gels printed or coated on the dual-functional textile 100 can impart increased cooling properties to the dual-functional textile 100.

[0128] ● Cooling finishing agent - Cooling chemicals such as xylitol, erythritol, and other cooling finishing agents can be added to the dual-functional absorbent and dual-functional textile 100 to endow the dual-functional textile 100 (when it is wetted and activated, and secondly in the dry state) with increased cooling properties.

[0129] Fabric structure & yarn position

[0130] Circular knitted spacer - Figure 1 A similar layering effect as depicted in can also be achieved using a circular knitted spacer. The circular knitted spacer machine has an increased ability to insert additional yarns (such as monofilament yarns) to provide increased thickness to the material. This increased thickness generated by yarns such as monofilament yarns can be replaced with conjugate yarns or intermittently combined with conjugate yarns, while the external yarns used can be high-evaporation yarns or any of the previously described yarns.

[0131] ● Flatbed knitting - Figure 1 A similar layering effect as depicted in can also be achieved using a flat knitting machine. The flat knitting machine is very flexible, allowing for complex stitch designs, shaped knitting, and precise width adjustment. The two largest manufacturers of industrial flat knitting machines are Stoll in Germany and Shima Seiki in Japan.
